An Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms senior agent assigned to the Phoenix office in 2010, Dodson's job is to stop gun trafficking across the border. Instead, he says he was ordered to sit by and watch it happen.

Agent Dodson and other sources say the gun walking strategy was approved all the way up to the Justice Department. The idea was to see where the guns ended up, build a big case and take down a cartel. And it was all kept secret from Mexico.

ATF named the case "Fast and Furious."

Surveillance video obtained by CBS News shows suspected drug cartel suppliers carrying boxes of weapons to their cars at a Phoenix gun shop. The long boxes shown in the video being loaded in were AK-47-type assault rifles.

Dang, I hate to say it but I guess for once king hussein didn’t lie about the US being responsible for the violence in meh-ico. As long as the feds are letting guns walk there will be an issue. Did they stop doing that? Or is it still an “ongoing investigation/sting operation”.

(BACKGROUND CHECKS? YOU FIRST mr. president(not that we'd get the truth!))

The thing that REALLY ticks me off about this Fast and Furious deal is that, the Kenyan and Holder set up the Fast and Furious fiasco to set the stage for exactly what the Kenyan did in Mexico the other day. Blame all of the killings in Mexico on OUR Second Amendment. This whole regime is hateful and despicable. Very anti-American. So how did America get this point? Politicians offering free handouts for votes.

At the time, my memory is that Holder was encouraging the Mexican government to file suit against the big name gun manufacturers. Law firms were salivating for their piece of the multi-billion-dollar settlements that would result.

The beauty of it was classic Obama and classic Soros. They would get the result they desired but the visible fingerprints would not be theirs.

Unfortunately Mexico knew damn well what was going on because it fit their goals as well.

Just so. The whole thing first appeared on stage when the President of Mexico visited the White House, and had a photo op with Obama in which they both declared that American gun dealers were responsible for providing the cartels with weapons.

Then Hillary picked up the ball, and spent the next week or two telling the networks that the violence in Mexico was all caused by American gun dealers.

Then Holder ordered the ATF to instruct gun dealers to sell to Mexican criminals and let the weapons walk to Mexico.

Then, before they could go through with the whole plan, things broke down.

But the damned idiot in the White House still thinks he can lie his way back in the intended direction. And he has the whole press on his side.

Let's hope he's wrong. It's encouraging to see CBS go with the story, although it may turn out to be just a small, one-time thing.

This is the story of the century. But we've had plenty of those from Obama, and the press would rather go out of business than pick up any of these stories and really go to town with them, like they did with Watergate.

I’m sure the mainstream media will get around to covering this story, eventually, but of course they have more urgent stories that take precedence. They don’t want us to miss the details of Lindsey Lohan checking into the Betty Ford Clinic.

Agent Dodson and other sources say the gun walking strategy was approved all the way up to the Justice Department.

(There it is. Obama/Holder are the masterminds).

Seriously, so what. Nothing is going to happen to this elite criminal enterprise, nor the next group or the group after that. They are all entrenched, compromised, etc & as long as the sheeple have a TV, six-pack & the trains run on time the beat will go on. Further the presidential nominees in this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" will not be selected by you or me. The criminal enterprise will select it.

They won’t arrest people who clearly violate our laws and waltz across the border with bags of drugs on their backs. Yet, we are supposed to believe that they will violate Mexican sovereignty and stream across the border to start arresting drug dealers and gang bangers at will .

The Berlin Wall came down and the USA was concerned about nuke materials getting loose. Meanwhile Germany was concerned about groups able to publish huge volumes of materials illegal under Germany law but legal in the USA. This set the stage for US/Germany intel collection synergy, and Germany provided an agent, Andreas Strassmeir; Andy would act like a right-wing German nut and infiltrate US extremist groups. In this he was aided by the resources of the SPLC, which had a long history of monitoring hate groups in a program called, “PatCon” for short.

Andy was helped by a US agent, Tim McVeigh, who like Andy had been in the army. They said he tried to become and SF and failed, but only the first part was true; in fact Tim tried out and instead received a much more sensitive assignment —infiltrate US “hate groups”.

But the field is not cut and dry, like training manuals in the Army. The field has people, who are willful and wayward. They suddenly do unforeseen things, like move up a blast timetable, which is what happened:

The US guv had collected lots of data, but a building was in rubble and they suddenly had a tarbaby on it’s hands —as things stood it could be shown they had known of an impending attack but did nothing.

SOUND FAMLIAR..? Let’s read that again: it could be shown they had known of an impending attack but did nothing.

But then they thought some more —Tim’s cover was intact, and he was still in place. They realized they could simply claim Tim was not their agent at all, but was a real extremist; they could make him the sole culprit, and escape a tidal wave of blame that had no land somewhere.

So that’s what they did —they just said it was allllll the bad Tim McVeigh, acting alone, yup.

The idea was to see where the guns ended up, build a big case and take down a cartel.

I do not doubt that Mr Dodson was told this. He may even believe it. It is, nonetheless, a truck load of bull manure.

Everybody, including me, writing from my benighted location, over 1,000 miles from the southern border, already knows the cartels are a criminal enterprise. It is like saying that Elliot Ness was going to allow "Mr Caponio" to commit one more crime so he could be "taken down."

Anybody who believes anything coming out of holder's "justice department" gets precisely what they deserve.

The vast preponderance of "domestic terrorism" today is perpetrated by various agencies of the feral (not a misspelling) government.

(Democrats--the party of Evil. Republicans--the party of Stupid.)

“We also recognize that most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States,” the president said. “I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, that can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States.”

“And we also recognize that most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States. (Applause.) I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms, and as President I swore an oath to uphold that right and I always will. But at the same time, as Ive said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. That can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States. Its the right thing to do. (Applause.) So well keep increasing the pressure on gun traffickers who bring illegal guns into Mexico. Well keep putting these criminals where they belong — behind bars. “
